    Well this past Friday I began my reef adventure. I placed my first order with Premium Aquatics. I am starting from the bottom up. After doing about 9 months of reading,and taking all the best ideas from everyone in the forums. I hope I can give this Hobby/Addiction a fair try. So I know that you guys and Girls will hopefully like my reefing. This is what I got from PA small octopus sump, Vertex skimmer, Neptune system apex lite, 24" Tek light, Tunze silence pump, and last but not least a submersible heater. So thanks to all for getting me pointed in the right direction.

    Hello and welcome neighbor,

    I am also from Rochester. It is awesome to see another "local" dive into this amazing and addicting hobby.

    :)

    You have picked the best place to learn and get help! I have learned TONS in the couple of months that I have been here.

    Good luck with your new build. It will be fun to see how it progresses!

    Welcome to 3reef!! You're gonna like it here. :)

    When I decided to go reef after 20 something years of FOWLR--I too began my journey with about 9 months of reading, before I bought a single piece of equipment, so we have something in common.
